Jennifer Aniston has cemented her commitment to the fight against racial injustice with a reported $1 million donation to several charities.
According to editors at Entertainment Tonight, Aniston, who recently spoke out in support of the ongoing protests against police brutality and racial injustice, has quietly donated several sums of money to various charities, including Colors Of Change, an organization formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to use online resources to strengthen the political voice of African Americans.
A source told the publication the actress gave to “worthy organizations” dedicated to the battle against systemic racism and discrimination.
Her support comes days after she spoke out against racism in the wake of the killing of African American man George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis.
“This week has been heartbreaking for so many reasons. We need to acknowledge that the racism and brutality in this country has been going on for a long time – and it’s NEVER been OK,” the The Morning Show actress wrote, alongside a video of revered black author and activist James Baldwin.
“As allies, who want equality and peace, it’s our responsibility to make noise, to demand justice, to educate ourselves on these issues, and more than anything, to spread love,” the 51-year-old added, “How much more time are we willing to let pass without change? HOW MUCH MORE TIME?”
